About the course
What this course covers
The Professional Scrum Product Owner - Advanced class is for Product Owners who know Scrum and the basics of product ownership and now need to deal with ambiguity: unclear customers, competing stakeholders, uncertain markets and pressure to deliver features instead of value.
The class uses the Product Owner stances as a framework for reflecting on your own practice. You work on creating and communicating a compelling vision, validating assumptions with experiments, making and defending decisions, forecasting under uncertainty, and managing value with Evidence-Based Management. Case discussions use real situations from participants.
The related assessment is the Professional Scrum Product Owner II (PSPO II), which tests your ability to choose appropriate actions in realistic situations. A pass gives a lifetime certification with no renewal fee.
Who should attend
- ● Product Owners with PSPO I or equivalent knowledge
- ● Product managers with hands-on Scrum experience
- ● Heads of product coaching other Product Owners
- ● Business owners accountable for product outcomes
- ● Scrum Masters and coaches supporting Product Owners
Prerequisites
- ● PSPO I is recommended; Scrum.org does not make it mandatory for the class or the PSPO II assessment
- Practical experience working as or with a Product Owner

FAQs
Questions learners ask us
Q.Is PSPO-A the same as PSPO II?
PSPO-A is the Scrum.org advanced class; PSPO II is the related assessment you take to earn the certification. Your trainer will explain how the class maps to the assessment.
Q.Do I need PSPO I first?
Scrum.org recommends but does not require it. Attempting PSPO II without PSPO I knowledge is difficult.
Q.How hard is PSPO II?
It is harder than PSPO I as it tests judgment in realistic scenarios and may award partial credit. The pass mark is 85%.
Q.Does the certification expire?
No, Scrum.org certifications are lifetime.
Q.What does the assessment cost?
Scrum.org publishes US$250 per attempt for the Level II assessments. Check scrum.org for the current price and whether your batch includes an attempt.
Q.Is this class only for software products?
No. The stance model and Evidence-Based Management apply to any product or service.
Q.How many questions are in PSPO II?
See the current figure on the official Scrum.org assessment page, as it can change.
